The hunger strike of several imprisoned Iranian students
and activists, such as, Ahmad Batebi, Behrooz
Javid-Tehrani, Peyman Piran, Omid Abassgholi-Nejad, Akbar
Mohammadi, Farzad Hamidi, the dissident lawyer Nasser
Zarafshan and Hamid Massooli who's sentenced to death, is
gaining momentum and worldwide support by many Iranians and
world's freedom lovers. The strikers are protesting against
the persistent rights abuses and are requesting the
immediate release of all political prisoners and the
organization of free elections in Iran.

Some of them who are held at the section 1 of the Evin
political jail, located in North Tehran, have been
admitted, on the 18th day of their action, to the prison?s
medical facility due to their grave health conditions.

The Islamic regime is trying to break this collective will
and the protesters have received numerous threats in effort
to drive a halt to their strike. Several of them have been
summoned to torturing interrogations and the Supreme Judge
of the Islamic Judicial Court has been reported as telling
them that "If all you die I wouldn't care."

Several alarmed European MPs, such as, Andre Berry, Paolo
Kazaka and Helmut Markoff have expressed their public
support and expressed concerns on the fate of the strikers
and the persistent rights abuses in Iran. Mr. Berry has
written a public letter for the attention of the German FM
by asking him to intervene due to his close relationship
with the ruling mullahs.

Even the docile "Office of Consolidation Unity" (OCU),
which is known as a pro-regime reformist student body, is
now addressing the issue by writing a public letter in
which it praises the strikers while slamming the Islamic
regime.

It's to note that the postponement, by the Mullhacracy, of
the planned visit of the UN Human Rights team has been made
in an effort to avoid any contact between the strikers and
the foreign observation team._________________Referendum AFTER Regime Change
